Is your child feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or acting in ways that don’t feel like them?
You’re not failing your child, you both just need the right support. I help kids navigate anxiety, grief, trauma, and big life changes through play and connection. I also offer Voice of the Child reports, giving children a safe way to share their perspective during separation or custody transitions.

I’m especially passionate about working with children, teens, and young adults who are navigating concerns such as anxiety, identity, relationships, and life transitions.
Therapy doesn’t have to be stiff or formal. It can be creative, collaborative, and built around the person you are, not just the problems you’re facing. I bring warmth, energy, and my full self into this work. My hope is that you feel like you can do the same. You don’t need to have the right words, the full story, or all the answers. We’ll move at your pace and explore things together with curiosity and care.

Do you feel stuck in old patterns or struggle to feel present and connect with your body? We all carry unresolved experiences that shape our daily function and have "parts" of ourselves that feel hard to manage. My work is dedicated to developing a deeper understanding of these patterns, parts, and past experiences. We'll explore how these dynamics are held not just in the mind, but also physically in the body, so you can move forward with greater coping and healing. If you are ready to address anxiety, loneliness, grief, people-pleasing, or the effects of trauma and relationship ruptures, let's begin this journey together.

Do I need to attend therapy with my child?

Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.

How long are sessions with child therapists?

Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.

How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?

The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?

A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
